Cutaneous pathology is the study of skin diseases and conditions. It involves examining skin samples to diagnose various issues, such as infections, inflammatory diseases, and skin cancers. Dermatopathologists, specialists in this field, analyze these samples under a microscope to understand changes in skin cells and tissues. This helps in identifying the cause of skin problems and guiding proper treatment. By understanding cutaneous pathology, healthcare providers can effectively address skin concerns, improving overall skin health and patient outcomes.
